What does it take to be successful in the modern world? How does you achieve fame and maintain it? What compromises must you make? And how exciting and glamorous, in truth, is the exciting and glamorous life of the modern celebrity? IThe Agent/I is a book about one man, four women, and their quest for fame and success. The man is Ghislain Pascal, a manager, agent and public relations practitioner - handsome, gay, early-thirties - and the women are voluptuous and varied. There is Emma B, a slender catwalk model at 15, a buxom star of reality television a decade later. There is Jacqueline Gold, who as chief executive of Ann Summers and Knickerbox acts as purveyor of erotic lingerie and vibrating amusements to a grateful nation. There is Nancy Sorrell, lingerie model, actor, singer and parent of twins with husband Vic Reeves. And there is Tamara Beckwith, 'It Girl', journalist, actor, TV presenter and promoter of her own jewellery range on the QVC satellite shopping channel. Award-winning writer Simon Garfield follows these five lives into the worlds of glamour modelling, lacy underwear, television, men's magazines, newspapers and books. Eye-opening, indiscrete and painfully well-observed, IThe Agent/I lifts the lid on what it really takes to be famous in the twenty-first century.
